Red Dead Redemption 2 release date LEAKED: but is it coming to PC?

It's well known that Rockstar will release Red Dead Redemption 2 later this year, but a firm release date might have been leaked by UK retailer BASE.com

The website is currently listing Rockstar's Wild West sequel with a September 26 release date and a £44.99 price tag.

Obviously, this isn't an official confirmation, after all, it's the third UK retailer so far to show a rumoured release date.

However, as RDR2.com points out "This particular date has two positives going for it"

"(1) it’s the last Tuesday of September (Tuesdays being the day of the week on which video games are generally released, at least in the US);

"(2) it matches the “Fall 2017” time frame that we have been officially told the game will be released during. So far so good."

The one thing missing from the reveal was any information on that rumoured PC release for the game.

Hopefully, we'll find out more about the release date and a possible PC port in the coming months, but, with Rockstar opting to keep a lid on secrets it's unlikely to be for some time.

Developed by the creators of GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption, Red Dead Redemption 2 is an epic tale of life in America’s unforgiving heartland, the game's vast and atmospheric world will also provide the foundation for a brand new online multiplayer experience.

More recently it was recently noticed that Rockstar had hired Ethan Korver, a well-known voice actor with past work with Just Cause 3, Mafia 3, and Call of Duty Infinite Warfare.

Korver was listed on IMDB as having a role in Red Dead Redemption 2, but when asked if there was any truth to the listing, Korver replied on Twitter to say, “I’m actually a cowboy in the game but supposedly be uncredited for it.

“I don’t know who gave me credit for the main cast on IMDB My character, is a background character not a main cast member.”

So far Korver os the only member of the cast listed on IMDB, but there's also been more information this week on the possibility of seeing the game come to PC.

According to www.gamersdose.ga there's been a snippet of code found in the Rockstar website which would suggest further confirmation of a possible Red Dead Redemption 2 PC version.

That said, this latest discovery needs to be taken with a massive dollop of salt given that the website even admits that the HTML link is no longer visible.

But while this particular PC rumour is slightly sketchy, it follows some slightly more believable PC Red Dead Redemption 2 news.

There's no doubt that fans of Rockstar's wild west series want the Red Dead 2 to come to PC, as evidenced by this Change.org petition with over 50,000+ signatures and as rdr2.com suggests, it's only a matter of time.

"RDR2 getting an eventual release on PC in spite of no PC version having been announced is a common expectation." claims the site.

"Since GTA 5 pulled a similar stunt, releasing the PC port almost 2 years after initial launch, many think the PC port will simply arrive later – maybe much later.

"There are a handful of good arguments to support a PC port. If we were to compare the ports of GTA 4 and GTA 5, massive strides forward can be noted, meaning Rockstar pumped a lot of cash into upgrading their PC development pipeline and structure.

"They’re unlikely to allow that investment to go down the drain with their first new project since."

Earlier this year, Take-Two Interactive, who own developers Rockstar (creators of GTA and Red Dead Redemption), spoke about the upcoming launch of Red Dead Redemption 2, providing some fresh details that shed more light on the upcoming wild west sequel.
